This week on Bariatric Foodie, she's sharing what she knows about vegetarianism after weight-loss surgery!

Check it out all this week, starting with today's post!

This is right on time Nik!

Last night the BF and I were talking about cutting down on the amount of meat we eat and while I'll never be a vegetarian 100% (I love me some rare steak) I know that eatting less meat is generally a healthier approach for a lot of reasons and I've been trying figuring out how to explore this while keeping WLS eatting in mind.

I've very excited about it and hope everyone checks it out. I hope we can get a really good discussion going so feel free to leave any questions or comments on Bariatric Foodie and I'll make sure to respond as quick as I can. I think even for those that have no plans to give up meat, you can get plenty of new ideas of things to eat for protein.

My surgeon is very pro-vegetarian. He advocates getting your protein from non-meat sources all of the time. You can follow his public page on Facebook. He posts meal ideas and links to his blog postings.
